Getting Help        13

              know Xara Designer Pro X and get an overview of its features, allowing you to make the
              most of the program.

              Here are some other sources of information and help from Xara and the Xara community
              that may be of use:
              •  Program help - Choose "Xara Designer Pro X Help" from the "Help" menu to open
                Xara Designer Pro X Help (containing hundreds of pages of information).
              •  Status bar - Try reading the text on the status bar at the bottom of the main Xara
                Designer Pro X window. It always describes what actions are currently possible and
                what they will do (even during drags), and helps you learn to use the Xara Designer
                Pro X tools. It also gives details of what buttons and controls do as you move the
                pointer over them. See Status Bar (on page 37) for more details.
              •  Tooltips - If you hold the mouse pointer over a button or control for a short while, then
                a short  message appears telling you what it does.
              •  Menus - If you want to know what a menu item does, highlight it and press "F1".
              •  Dialog boxes - If you want to know what a dialog box does or how to use it, click HELP.
              •  Movies - Use the menu option "HELP" > "MOVIES" or click here
                http://www.xara.com/movies/designerpro8 to view a list of available movies.
              •  The TalkGraphics forums - Post your question in the popular, dedicated Xara forums
                at TalkGraphics.com (www.talkgraphics.com), where you can ask other Xara Designer
                Pro X users for advice or suggestions – available 24x7. You can share tips and ideas,
                ask questions or offer solutions to other users.
